The partition is there. It's just that Windows overwrites the MBR as if no other operating systems could possibly exist.

It's 2023, Linux has great UEFI support, there is no reason to be using MBR over GPT.

My system doesn't have UEFI support, so there's that.

What? How old is your motherboard?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I have a 2nd gen I5 and a 3070. Great combo. It was my brother's old system and I hadn't had a desktop in 10 years, so I added the video card... guess I'll be upgrading sometime soon!

Jesus, do your video card's fans even come on?

Nope. The only time the GPU gets over 40-50% is when rendering AI images.

Bruh that bottleneck must be insane

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, games are CPU bound to say the least.

What

I am genuinely impressed.

Is that a 2500k by any chance?
